1 NATS TMA Programmes #120_AF1 LAMP Phase 1A and #119_AF1 Manchester TMA Mark McLaren

2 Pilot Common Projects (PCP) IR 716/ 2014 PCP identifies two UK TMAs and includes four airports Heathrow Gatwick Stansted Manchester NATS was awarded INEA -funding co for two airspace projects at CEF 2014 Call #120_AF1 London Airspace Management Programme (LAMP) Phase 1A #119_AF1 Redevelopment of Manchester TMA.

3 NATS and the PCP Sub-AF1.2 Two applications submitted to INEA London TMA INEA Project (LAMP Phase 1A) London TMA includes airports specified in the PCP and also many others including: Luton, London City, Southend, Biggin Hill, Farnborough, Northolt Manchester TMA INEA Project includes Manchester Airport and TMA also includes nearby Leeds, East Midlands, Birmingham and Liverpool airports.

4 London Airspace Management Programme (LAMP) LAMP is a once in a generation opportunity to modernise the airspace in the London Terminal Control region It is a key stepping stone between today s operation and the future SESAR 4D trajectory world of LAMP is required to enable delivery of the CAA s Future Airspace Strategy (FAS), a blueprint for tomorrow s airspace in the UK LAMP will deliver significant benefits for safety, environment, service and value for our customers LAMP is the biggest airspace change ever undertaken by NATS and requires the support of a large number of stakeholders A Programme made up of 2 further phases in RP3 LAMP 1 and 2 LAMP 1A is complete. 9th March 2015

5 What will LAMP achieve? Improve safety by reducing complexity and tactical intervention reducing controller/pilot workload Improve flight efficiency by introducing more Continuous Climb and Continuous Descent Operations and through new concepts such as Point Merge Provide enhanced navigation capability through PBN a des ign (RNAV1 m inim um) Provide capacity to meet future demand Significant environmental benefits through CO2 and fuel saving Improved predictability for airports and airlines Overall improvement in controller/pilot workload. 9th March 2015

6 Phase 1a Changes London City Airport Point Merge arrival structure New holding stacks & STARs New SID departures to the south New controlled airspace SIDs converted to RNAV SIDs Re-routeing of some departures at Stansted & Luton New RNAV STARs into Gatwick and Southend Re-s ectoris ation of TC and AC sectors in southeast of UK Lowering of CAS to the south of the LTMA within which a new contingency hold for Southampton/Bournemouth/Farnborough.

7 Phase 1a Predicted Benefits Improvements to the London TMA safety risk index CO2 / fuel saving (c. 10m p.a.+) Increased systemisation/use of RNAV Much improved predictability for London City Airport Freeflowfor Stansted departures Increase in CCO/CDO and improved vertical profiles Reduction in cockpit workload Enables future airspace change for remainder of LAMP.

8 Manchester TMA Overview Introduction of a 3nm separation environment below FL285 Introduce minimum radar separation to enable closer spaced routes Introduction of RNAV1 routes within the airspace (IoM/ Anrtrim Sectors) O Da te AIRAC 12/2017 Introduction of SIDs and STARs for all airfields in MTMA SIDs and STARs procedurally deconflicted by utilising SID to FL concept New SIDs/STARs at other airports enables decommissioning of DVOR(s) Point Merge introduced for Manchester Airport New RNAV transitions for Liverpool and Leeds Bradford Airport Revised holds for Birmingham and East Midlands Airport Will aid capacity by decreasing controller workload Complements CAA Future Airs pa ce Strategy (FAS).

9 PLAS Deployments Deployment 3NM [Introduced Mar 2 nd 2017] Tactical 3NM capability in the region 3nm separation minima across PC AoR on a tactical basis, below FL285 within London FIR and below FL255 within Scottish FIR within controlled airspace. Introduces the minimum radar separation required for closer spaced routes Positive feedback from the OPS room & potential environmental benefits (awaiting NATS Analytics output) Deployment IoM/ Antrim [Planned 09/11/ 2017] IoM/Antrim improvements PBN route structure to deliver increased capacity. Deployment Network [Target Q3 2018] (Birmingham/ Leeds/ Doncaster/ Newcastle/ Prestwick) Introduction of new SID/STARs at Leeds. New SID at Birmingham. New STARs at Newcastle. Replicated SID STARs at Doncaster.

10 PLAS Deployments Deployment ScTMA [Target Q1 2019] (Edinburgh/ Glasgow) New SID/STAR designs at Edinburgh & Glasgow Allows removal of the GOW/PTH/TRN DVOR & NGY NDB Deployment MTMA [Target Q4 2019] MTMA (Manchester/ Liverpool/ Hawarden/ East Midlands ) MTMA re-design including delivery of Point Merge to deliver safety, environmental and capacity benefits Revised SID STAR for East Midlands Introduction of revised hold for Birmingham Introduction of New CAS to support above Allows removal of TNT & MCT DVOR.

11 Benefits from MTMA Increase in capacity and sector monitor values CO2 and Fuel Savings ~ 29kT per annum Systemised airspace Rem oval/ rationalis ation of old Navaids DVORs / DMEs. 11

12 Summary Risks exist in the deployment of airspace change Public cons ultation Decisions surrounding Heathrow Airport and third runway Target deployment by 1 January 2024 as identified in the PCP. 12
